No. 73, January : — (Muller, Johannes) On the structure of the Echi- 

 noderms — a translation made by Mr. T. Haxley of a Paper read before 

 the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin ; (Sclater, P. L.) On a new 

 species of Tanager, in British Museum ; (Kellaart, E. F.) Descriptions of 

 new or little known species of Reptiles, collected in Ceylon; (Forbes, 

 Edward) Note on Spadix purpurea, Gosse ; (Deakin, Richard) Descrip- 

 tions and illustrations of new species of Verricaria and Sagedia, found 

 about Torquay, Devonshire ; (Gray, John Edward) Description of a MS. 

 of Laurence Theodore Gronov, lately purchased for the British Museum, 

 with a collection of dry fish which it describes. A box of dry skins of fish, 

 arranged between sheets of cartridge paper, like a collection of dry plants, 

 said to be accompanied with a MS. description, was offered for sale in a 

 collection of objects of vertu, in Bond-street ; at the time of sale, and while 

 on view, the MS. could not be found. Dr. Gray, however, thought that, 

 even independently of the MS., the collection would be an advantageous 

 purchase. The MS. was subsequently found, and, on examination, it 

 proved to be a collection, generic and specific, with descriptions, made by 

 L. T. Gronov, better known by his Latinized name Gronovius. In a 

 scientific point of view, such a collection is most important, and we 

 are glad, therefore, to see that it has passed into the hands of the British 

 Museum. (Jordon, T. C.) Catalogue of Species of Plants found in Southern
